One reason I applied for this program is that I believe that a growth stage fund is needed to boost Uganda’s entrepreneurship ecosystem. To accomplish this goal, I have recently been exploring the best approaches to financing for Ugandan entrepreneurs. I still strongly believe that a local fund is necessary. But the local fund will augment a revenue driven model for early to see stage entrepreneurs. I have applied for this program to make sure I am ready for the future - one of my goals is to create a fund.

Jeff Erickson It's one thing to be active but more significant is most VCs don’t add much value especially for pre seed and seed https://lnkd.in/gKXfFKMZ - 33% of founders said that they felt VCs simply weren’t honest about the expertise they could offer - 65% said VCs missed mark delivering beyond cash  - Female founders rated value-add as twice as important than males - Value-add includes connections to partners, customers, talent, sharing knowledge Lean AI startups are still the new black get angels + grants + perhaps family office for MVP with good initial traction then with CVP after crossing $100K MRR raise seed at 3x valuation of pre seed from VC's then race to get to $10M ARR in 2 years with $100M valuation with awesome cap table where VC's own 20% max.
